A one-off project featuring Carsten Bohn, Thomas Kretschmer (ex-Frumpy), Manfred Rurup, Olaf Casalich (ex-Release Music Orchestra), Michael Kobs and Willi Pape (ex-Thirsty Moon). The band was named after Bohn's son Dennis. Their music was basically instrumental progressive jazz-rock with much improvisation. The groups in which the musicians previously played give a good indication of what to expect here. It is one of the better recordings in this field, so it's a pity that the band didn't exist for long. Willi Pape and Carsten Bohn went on to Kickbit Information, a band which existed merely for months and didn't make any albums. Bohn then formed his Bandstand.

They produce one album called Hyperthalamus which comes across as a collection of extracts from acid-jams and freak-outs.

you must re-listen the album properly, you will assume that this band has much more things in common with Guru Guru. Moreover, before saying stupidities you should read some stuffs about the history of 70s German rock. I've ever included several kraut-jazz as Dzyan and Annexus Quam in Krautrock, Dennis Hyperthalamus deserves the same label. It's different with Embryo, Kraan...their sound is by far more jazzy.

First you say it is not Krautrock, now you say it is?

Oh and sorry for being stupid, you royal smartness.

Now I am convinced you have something personal against me.

Go on, keep calling me names. Show how smart you are and idiot I am. I am used to people being like that.

How convenient! Call me stupid and then say to ME why don't I send YOU a PM.

WHY didn'y YOU send me a PM calling me stupid in private in the first place, then?

Anyway, I have no interest in discussing with someone calling me stupid. I have had enough of abuse of people. I try to do all I can for this website and spend a lot of my spare time here because I choose to and want to, but still people feel the need to show how smart they are compared to me. Leave me alone and let me do my job. If you have any criticism, do it politely and send me a PM.

NOW,

Just answer the question which is fundemental to the topic of Dennis:

First you say Dennis is not Krautrock. Then you post that it is (along with insults that were totally uncalled for, but I am used to that).

So which is it? Krautrock or Jazz-rock?

I am asking this, even though I have really no interest in talking with you, solely for the sake of making this clear for Black Velvet and the Bands Admission Team.

Hmmm... I never meant for this to get into feuds. From looking around the internet, I have noticed over time there have been some discrepances in genre classifications of this band. Not to meantion numerous other German bands.

To make things a little clearer the first statement in the openning post can from this site.

For me personally, in terms of Kraut to jazz content I find this band to be on similar levels as Eiliff. So I guess this is where I am standing at the moment. But I would like to hear more peoples opinions on this matter?
